[Q] Unable to revive phone! In dire need of help! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA community!
I have a big problem, I have already flashed several custom ROMs and even stock firmwares, with Odin and Heimdall too without any issues, but now I'm completely unsure what happened. I flashed CM KK ROM a while ago and phone went into bootloops and giving errors in recovery. I have experienced and successfully dealt with these problems before, but now I just can't solve those.
So the problem is, my phone is either bootlooping, or giving me the "can't mount sdard" or "mmcblk0p1" errors. I have read lots of threads to solve this but none of them seems to work. I tried flashing all kinds of stock firmwares (Eclair, Froyo, GB) with and withou Re-Partition, but I still get those errors everytime. In recovery, I tried manually format and mount data and sdcard but it gave me the can't mount errors. I also flashed dbdata.rfs, and custom Kernels, but nothing works. I also read that my internal SD card is corrupted and I have to manually partition it with a 8GB external SD card but I own only a 2GB one.
So I really hope some of you clever guys can give me some help, or atlest bring me closer the the solution!
Thanks for the answers!

try using the correct version of CWM and flashing the KK ROM (download again) again follow this
If still same, read this and look at using ADB or speedmod kernel to format the corrupt partition
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​

Thanks for the fast answer!
I checked and followed the intstructions in the links and flashed stock JVU, then also the fixed JVU kernel from your post, but I still get the "E:failed to mount /sdcard (files exists),
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard" error even after flashing dbdata.rfs However I didn't try the Speedmod Kernel becouse after download it's just a zImage file without the .tar so Odin cabt recognize it and I do not know how to compress to that format!
Thanks for the answers!
Update: I have managed to flash Speedmod kernel, and I could convert SYSTEM filesystem, but when I try to convert filesystems to RFS it gives me the "cant mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p1" and "cant mount /mnt/sdcard" errors... This is like an infinite loop of errors and I am to unfamiliar with this to cope with. Please help

Try to open terminal and type this commands
su
fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It is command to check file system for errors and repair it. Please write about results.

I'm sorry I don't understand what kinda terminal you are talking about :/ I can't turn on my phone only recovery and download mode works. Sorry but I'm new to this stuff...but thanks for the reply!

Probably you can execute the command Dark_Sleipnir said by going to Download Mode, then connect the phone to your PC, then access the phone through ADB...

I figured it out that I must use ADB (for the 1st time ever) I have managed to set up ADB but when i type su or fsck the cmd says the system cant recognize those as commands. Can you provide the exact commands? By the way if I connect the phone to PC my phone drives appear as transparent in My Computer and i cannot open nor format them (this happens only in recovery mode, in download mode there are no drives showing up at all, not even in the device manager). Maybe thats the problem?
Thanks for the help!

Sorry, I don't know if you could enter Android terminal console through Recovery, I haven't use ADB also. I just understand (have read it from some Android tutorial/guides) that you could enter Android terminal console via ADB...

I can enter ADB in recovery mode, and it recognizes my device (I tried "adb reboot recovery", works like a charm), my problem is that it won't recognise "su" and "fsck" commands. I appreciate your help!

Try to use "adb shell" command - it emulate android terminal via PC adb. Also if fsck does not working try "mke2fs -S /dev/block/mmcblk0p1"

CMW boot loop problem - Please help

I have a rooted dell streak 7, flashed with clockwork mod recovery. today i went to download the over the air update t-mobile sent out for the dell streak 7 and the phone froze, when i reset it it loaded to clockwork mod and i can't get it to load the normal OS now. no matter how many times i reset it. I even went so far as to format the /system, /cache and all the others trying to get it to boot pass the CMW recovery screen and nothing works. any suggestions would be helpful.
i dont know if it will help if you format with stock recovery you might e stuck but if you can still get into adb shell then try this guide you have to search for files yourself

CMW boot loop problem
Hey Guy,
I am having the same issue..when try too adb commad it return:
fail with error -1
please help
thanks for the reply. this is all very new for me, but, in general i can usually handle my own tech stuff.
so let me just ask a real basic question. if I can open ADB and send commands to the phone through a DOS prompt, then that would mean the ADB shell is working, is that correct?
No you have to type "adb shell" and see if that works

Thank sooo much for help...I think I missing the highlighted steps below
this guide is for those who still have Clockwork Mod Recovery still on device you can thank bogdi1988 for his work and orginal guide here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=76
BUT THIS MAY WORK FOR OTHERS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MOUNT SYSTEM AND DATA AND THOSE THINGS FROM ADB
but to simplify I did this :
stock images
recovery.img
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/recovery.img
boot.img
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/boot.img
Once in recovery mount everything you can system , data , cache , everyrthing besides sd card
then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img
select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.
bogdi1988 suggest flash all images over again in fastboot
in this order
system.img
recovery.img
boot.img
thanks go to everyone who has a dell streak 7 that was willing to try all these hacks and risking your devices for the greater good of the streak
P.S. I will post system.img in a second
Also for fastboot help thank bogdi1988 again heres his post that helped me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=23
I was able to get the stock boot.img back on the device- however the recovery.img did not take after an unsuccessful update on a CW/rooted device. Now I have a partially corrupt device that I cannot get passed the FCs on... I cannot even get as far as to set the USB mount in debug. I can get ADB shell to see it and execute commands- however no dice on on recovery.
I can only gain read access to the file system on the device while running as well. ANyone have any thoughts on how to to push or write the recovery image so I can reflash this thing? Thanks for everything already.
Dont flash update with cwm recovery you can only flash custom roms with custom recovery

when you say mount /system and /cache. is that through the ADB bridge? or the CMW recovery screen on the dell streak?

thanks for all your help so far. I can run the ADB shell successfully and get the # on my dos prompt. I go in and mount /cache, /data, and /system on the streak itself, through the CMW "mounts and storage" screen. and i have copied both the uploaded files, boot and recovery, to my external SD card. but whenever i type the command in, i get "failed with error: -1"
would me having formatted the drives change what i need to type here : "flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img" ?

i don t think you was suppose to format
I know. this was back when the problem first occured. did it in a bit of a panic trying to get past the CMW boot screen. i'm just wondering if the "flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img" would need to change at all considering the mistake.

i think you may need to call dell bro
think if i call it in under the warrant, they'll send it back damaged?
if you formatted you more then likely bricked it. call dell feed them some bs about when you tried to update it bricked your device they will send you a new one

i9000 bricked or something like that.

Have you tired using a pit file?
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.
hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:
Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x
if i flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 i receiving this error:

If i flash 2.3.3 or 2.3.4:
https://www.box.com/s/f09fd945620c03daffa9
And then it keep showing me GT 9000 logo......
yes i used 512pit and using 1.82 odin
I know there is way to install in to external SDcard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08
I had such error and successfully installed rom in to sdcard but i had issue with phone signal, so tried to re install rom and now its keep teling me cant mount data..

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..
I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.
Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.
Captain_17
Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.
Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.
Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition
Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

[Q] Failed to mount /sdcard problem

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, but I'm reading it for about 8 months now. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. After flashing with Odin3 v1.83(with 512.pit file, bootloader, PDA, PHONE and CSC), and I got a green "PASS!" on it, and after phone rebooted in Recovery Mode, I've got following error while Copying media files:
E:Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
After that, I tried flashing bunch of different ROM's but I always get the same error. Phone can go into Download mode, Recovery mode with no problem, I can also normally turn on phone and in a beggining I get a lot of "Force Close" pop-ups, but after that my phone works okay, I can go into settings and there I can see that there is no memory, so that means that my phone doesn't even sees my 8GB external micro sd card. When I try to open Camera, I get this error:
Turn off usb storage before using camera.
I currentlly have i9000XWJVZ 2.3.6 ROM on it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS(Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5). When I'm in Recovery mode and access my phone via ADB, and try to manually mount sdcard, this is what I get:
~ # mount sdcard
mount sdcard
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: I/O error
I've also tried partitioning my external 8GB micro SD card with linux(I found a video on youtube: "Samsung i9000 mmcblk0p2 error recovery"), and then tried to flash ROM on it, but I get the same error.
Can somebody please help me, I'm getting really desperate.
All ideas are welcome, Thanks.
Hi there! I have a similar problem. After updating from Android 2.3.4 Build MCGv7.6 ( I9000XXJVK) I keep on getting CWM. I can also return to download mode and use Odin with success - with as only result a changed CMW version at max. Returning to CWM 3.0.0.5 and stock rom Froyo doesn't result in a applied rom. When i try to mount /emmc and /sd-ext it simply states Error mounting /emmc! Even though I didn't format it! When I look in AROMA explorer in CWM from Semaphore_JB_2.9.12, I can see that both /emmc and /sdcard have ----- as permissions instead of rxwrx or something alike. If permissions are the problem here, Fix Permissions doesn't appear to have an effect on these two folders. Is there another way to restore these permissions?
Thanks guys for your time! :good:

Your tutorial was the first thing I tried, it fixed the wipe error, but the main error (E:Failed to mount /sdcard) stayed.
Possible solution is to Format your SD card by using SDFormatter (Windows)
01. Download "SDFormatter" from the link above
02. Install "SDFormatter"
03. Enable "USB Debugging Mode" from Developer Options in settings.
04. Connect your tablet to PC (USB).
05. Then, tap the "USB Strage Mode" to connect to PC.
06. Backup data on INTERNAL_SD card.
07. Run "SDFormatter".
08. Specify the drive letter of INTERNAL_SD in SDFormatter and click "(Option)" button.
09. "FORMAT TYPE" select "FULL OVERWRITE" and set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSMENT" to "ON" and click "OK"
10. Now click "FORMAT" and wait for the procedure to complete. (Can take approximately 1 hour 40 minutes)
11. After format is completed you can recopy the backup files back onto the INTERNAL_SD
Let me know if that works
If not hopefully someone else can give more info

You could try changing the way you do it. I can't remember whether you should flash dbdata straight after the rom, or if you should let it fail to boot then go back into download mode and flash it.
I do remember though that it was a bit fussy with me like that, so try it both ways.
I also found that flashing your GB ROM twice, one after the other seemed to help sometimes too. (Just noticed that I've written a .txt file in my GB ROM folder on my PC reminding me to do this, so there must have been a reason for it - been a while since I've played with gingerbread so I can't remember why)
So there's a couple of things for you to try.

[SOLVED] [Q] ADB push, permission denied

Hi
I am trying to push CWM recovery to my phone but keep getting permission denied. This is what I've figured out searching the forum:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /sdcard
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
Permission denied
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /sdcard
exit
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
Permission denied
I've tried a lot of different combinations and commands that I've found but keep getting permission denied. It's probably something stupidly simple but this is my first atttempt at adb.
Additional info:
I unlocked bootloader and installed CWM recovery using guides on this forum. I successfully booted into CWM and flashed EternityProject's CM 10.2. After rebooting I got as far as the LG logo and got a
Code:
[LGE_SECURITY] ERROR: boot image signature
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002)
which I'm guessing means that I didn't do a good job unlocking the bootloader.. I booted back into recovery but that now shows stock 3e recovery which isn't really helpful.
I've tried LGFlashTool and the Lg Mobile Support tool but they either freeze at 4% or fail to detect the device at all. Same with the offline kdz update. Tried different USB ports (2.0 & 3.0) and different computers (both with Win8 x64 though), uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers, drivers from this forum, drivers straight from LG.. So now I'm hoping to get into CWM using adb.
Can you boot t fastboot (adb reboot oem-unlock)? If so, use
Code:
fastboot getvar all
to see if bootloader is unlocked. If it is, try to install the recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery
.

Thank you for your suggestion, however, adb reboot oem-unlock restarts the phone but it stops with the LG logo and the same error message as in OP. Only thing I can get working is
- booting into original recovery 3e
- software update mode (Vol - & inserting USB plug)
- software download mode (Vol + & power button)
Just saw that you're using Win8. The flashing tools only seem to work on Windows 7 and lower. Maybe you can get a friend with Win7 to reflash your phone with the kdz method?

Freakin aye I borrowed a Win7 computer and ran the LG Mobile Support tool downloaded straight from the LG website. Ran it and it downloaded the software and installed it without problems. Strange that it didn't work properly on Win8, didn't give an error message or anything, just stopped at 4%.
Anyways, fixed now and will save me hours the next time around
Danke für eure hilfe

when I had that problem, I ended up wiping everything and then rebooted to recovery and it finally worked.

Try what @JudgeFutta said. The error's most likely due to corrupt partitions.

Try to get in Recovery and from mount option mount system and then try it will work or try this
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit andvanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device conntected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
Be sure u r in Recovery when using ADB Push command.
Thanks guys. What i found out is that i had a corrupt partition so I formated the sdcard since there was nothing on it and it worked. I pushed the rom through adb but i didnt do the sideload method. I have liquid smooth on it now but I want a sense rom. any suggestions for a good one?

@p1mpin Can vouch for that ROM, it's amazing. Might also want to flash Kangaroo Kernel while you're at it. It'll give you great battery life.
